Reborn
by Addison Cain
Book 3 in Alpha's Claim
If you've already committed to Claire and Shepherd, this is where the bond either breaks you or fuses you to the series for life. The prose is sharp, the obsession is volcanic, and Cain refuses to flinch from any of it - which is the entire point of dark omegaverse and why this trilogy still gets cited as a benchmark.
